Disclaimer: I don't own all the characters, just the ones that my own twisted psyche made up. I also own the plot.
A/N: This is like the comics and the mixed together with a dash of Evolution and has a whole lot AU-y goodness and impossibility and unlikelihood!!
This is the story of some the X-men's children. OC's and canon characters. Oh yeah and I, like, can't spell any of those wacky words that are special only to the X-verse so, like, if you can tell how I'll be grateful as heck.

Meep, Meep, Meep went her alarm clock. Meep, Meep, Meep. Vanessa mentally cursed who ever had invented alarm clocks and rolled over to switch it off.
"Mondays," she muttered passionately, "I hate Mondays."
She brushed her hair out of eyes and staggered to the bathroom. Fifteen minutes later, Vanessa stood trying to brush her wet mass of curls.
Vanessa was an ordinary looking girl–red hair, brown eyes, athletic body. But that just proves that looks can be deceiving.
"Vanessa, hurry up!" her foster mother called from downstairs.
She grunted and pulled on a pair of jeans. Vanessa slid down the stair banister and landed lightly next to her chair in the kitchen.
"Hurry up and eat or you'll miss the bus, and I don't have time to take you to school today."
Vanessa rolled her eyes, but dug into her waffle. "This is good, Renee!" She exclaimed around a mouth full of food. If her foster-mother said anything to that Vanessa didn't hear her because she happened to glance down at her watch. "Oh my gosh!" She squealed, grabbed her backpack and her coat, and flew out the door.
Her bus was still at the corner by the time she made it there. Panting from running, she flopped into a seat next to her best friend, Nicole.
"Sleeping late again?"
Vanessa pretended to look shocked, "Me? Never."
Nicole smiled and the sunlight glinted off of her braces. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until eighth period gym. In her gym shorts, she noticed her tattoo.
Her tattoo was on the side of her right leg down by her ankle and it was a picture of a yellow rosebud with a long stem that looked a lot like a very stretched out S.
It looked . . .different. Vanessa squinted at it. Almost like the rose was about to bloom.
Vanessa closed her eyes and shook her head. "That's impossible," she muttered and continued pulling her sock on. But it was happening as much as Vanessa didn't want to admit it. She was a mutant.

Professor X called in Tianna Wager and Jonathan Howlett. "Cerebro, has detected a new mutant."
Jon grinned. "Prep the X-jet?" He asked hopefully.
"Yes, and gather up Wolverine, Storm, Zero, Jazz, and the rest of the team."
Jon started for the door. Tianna caught the back of Jon's shirt. "I'll prep the jet; you get Logan. He's your father after all."
"I want to prep the X-jet!"
Tianna stared up at Jon and stuck out her bottom lip, and gave him her best puppy dog pout. "No!" Jon yelled and again his voice rising. "No! NO! Fine!"
"Yay!"
Professor X shook his head as two of his students both ran out of the room to do their tasks. "Those two may lack experience, but they make up for in enthusiasm and courage," He remarked quietly.
Jon raced into the cockpit. "It's already to go!" Tianna sang out. "Jon, you fly." Tianna repositioned herself in the copilot's seat. Tianna hated flying and she refused to be the first pilot, or a passenger. Jon wondered what she would do if she ever had top fly commercial.
"Kind of funny, you'll fly a jet, but you won't drive a car," Jon teased her.
Tianna tossed her obsidian curls over her shoulder, ignoring Jon. He grinned cockily and waited. A few minutes later, Zero melted into a seat behind Jon.
Samantha Angelina Dovine was the picture of innocence. Her long, curly blonde hair fell to her shoulders like a halo, and ice-blue eyes emphasized by long eyelashes fluttered in pure, childlike innocence.
Nicknamed Zero because of her ability to go invisible and leave no trace of the fact that she'd been there.
"Where we goin'?" She asked curiously.
"Jamestown, New York," Professor X answered as he rolled onto the jet.
"I'm going to be stuck with you two for a long time," Tianna sighed. "In a plane. Oh, God, let me out!" In her agitation, she switched forms.
Tianna had the slight ability to shape shift, but only between two forms. She could be a normal looking human being, or she could look like a female version of her father, Nightcrawler. Tianna was really elemental. She could control wind, water, fire, and earth. Her powers had never really manifested themselves; Tianna had always had them, but that didn't mean she was always in control.
Jon took after his father in his powers, but that was it. Unlike his father's husky build. Jon was slender, but his body was crawling with muscles. His chestnut hair was cropped short and had been gelled into spikes and a bit of scruff around his chin. All in all he was very good looking.
Jon flirted a bit with Samantha while the teenagers waited. Tianna stared out the window, flicking her tail impatiently.
"Professor, do you thinks it's safe? What with all the disappearances and stuff?" She asked.
Professor X turned to his student, "It's a chance we'll have to take." Tianna nodded, but she didn't look reassured. For several years, mutants had been vanishing. Nightcrawler had been one of the first to disappear.
"All right, Jonathan, since we're assembled. You can take off now."
Jon obliged the professor by taking off.
~*~*~*~*~*~*Jamestown~*~*~*~*~*~
Vanessa ran home from the bus stop. There was no way that what had just happened, happened. That rose bush had been dead. How could it have just sprung to life and chased Saratoga and his goonies away and then returned to be dead and lifeless? And then there were her fingernails. They were turning green just like she painted them! All she wanted to do was go up to her room, climb into the bed, take a nap, and wake up and have it all be a dream!
Vanessa pounded up the steps and into the her kitchen and stopped abruptly. Three people stood in her kitchen talking to Renee.
"Yes, Professor, she started displaying powers for a little while now. I knew I should have called, but I never got around to it."
"It's okay, Renee, just as long as she's safe."
"Renee?" Vanessa asked quietly.
"Vanessa, hon, this is Professor X." Renee motioned to a man sitting in a wheel chair.
Vanessa took a step back. "What's going on?"
Professor X steepled his fingers and opened his mouth. The boy on his right interrupted. "Has anything weird been happening to you lately?"
"Jonathan," the professor started.
Jon rolled his eyes, "It's what you were going to say, only it would have been sugar coated."
The girl elbowed him forcefully. "Shut up."
The boy scowled at her and rubbed his ribs. "You have really bony elbows."
"If you two are done, now?"
"Sorry, Professor," The two teens chorused.
Vanessa slipped into a seat and listened to Professor X as he spoke. "I own a school where young students like yourself learn to control and use their powers. Tianna and Jonathan are both students are there."
'Yeah, that makes her really want to come," Tianna mumbled.
Jon raised an eyebrow, "What does that mean?"
Tianna gave an overly sweet smile. Logan called her a sugar coated for a reason. "Because you're there!"
Jon glared at her and thought momentarily about stabbing her with one of his claws. In the end, he decided against it. Things would get too boring too quick.
The Professor watched the two of them and shook his head. "You do not have to come, but–"
The door opened and a rather frantic looking Zero rushed in. As she had a tendency to do when she got upset, she was slowly vanishing. "Professor!"
Vanessa watched Zero. "Zero, get a hold of yourself!" Jon ordered.
"Literally," Tianna added.
Zero closed her eyes one of the few things still visible. After a few minutes the rest of her body began to appear. "Professor, Jolie is gone!"
Professor furrowed his brow and answered the exclamation, but Vanessa was too deep in thought to hear it. "Professor X, I think I'll go to the Institute," she interrupted suddenly. "It's probably much safer there."
Jon opened his mouth and Tianna elbowed him forcefully. "It is." She answered.
"Very well then. Jonathan, Samantha, Tianna, please escort her to X-jet."
The three nodded. Vanessa got to her feet and followed the three other mutants out of the door.
